V1.Chapter 40

The three people walked around the village for a long time, and then returned to the stone pillar in the middle of the village. Under the quiet night, the stone pillar stood on the open snow. The mottled traces on the stone pillars seem to be speechless, telling thousands of years of wind and rain.

"This stone pillar is the only thing that has surprised me for so many years since I came to the village." The old man stood in front of the stone pillar and said slowly“ No one is cleaning the stone pillar at all, but you see, it's been hundreds of years since I came here. There is still no dust around the pillar. "

Li Fan and Chen Xi heard the old man's words. Looking around, they found that the stone column was about one meter clean, and even exposed the stone slabs on the ground. Instead of being covered with snow. And the occasional snowflakes in the sky will also float around the pillars. Li Fan suddenly remembered that when he touched the stone pillar before, his hand was rebounded by the stone pillar.

"Old man, since you have been here for hundreds of years, can you see what this is?" Chen Xi looked at the stone pillar and turned to the old man.

The old man's body on crutches seemed to sway in the wind. The rickety body coughed heavily twice and said, "this village should belong to an array, and this stone pillar is an array eye. But I don't know what kind of array it belongs to. "

"Array?" Li Fan heard the old man's words and asked with some doubts“ Didn't you just say that the village was cursed? "

"Well, the village I just mentioned is cursed, which is the array." The old man sighed, looked at the stone pillar and said, "but this array has been lost for a long time in the circle of practitioners. So it's normal that you don't know. "

Li Fan looks at Chen Xi and finds that Chen Xi is also confused. Obviously, he doesn't know the information about the array.

"Can array be cultivated?" Li Fan asked.

The old man nodded, looked up at the sky and said, "in fact, in ancient times, there were many cultivation methods in the cultivation world, but to sum up, there were only two kinds, one was to rely on their own cultivation, the other was to rely on external forces. But with the passage of time, the cultivation world only relies on its own cultivation methods. As for the cultivation with the help of external forces, in fact, it is mainly based on arrays. "

"Why is it lost?" Li Fan was a little confused. If the old man said so, both cultivation methods would be handed down.

"Why?" The old man laughed“ Because the cultivation of array is too difficult. Self cultivation depends on talent and hard work. But the cultivation of array depends on absolute talent. For example, when I teach you arrays, I should not only teach you that one plus one equals two, but also why one equals two. Even when it's equal to three. "

"Old man, are you funny?" Li Fan said with some disbelief, "is the array as powerful as you said?"

The old man reached out and pointed to the stone pillar in front of the three people and said, "look at this stone pillar. The facts can prove what I said."

Li Fan was disheartened. Depressed, he said, "is there no other way. I've just tried. I can't touch this pillar at all. "

"If it was so easy to reach the pillars, they wouldn't be trapped here for hundreds of years." Chen Xi answers a way in the side“ Old man, haven't you studied anything for so long? "

The old man shook his head, nodded again and said, "we have been studying this village for so many years. Now the only harvest is that unless someone who can master the array comes to the village, we have no other way

"Old man, you are not saying the same thing." Li Fan shook his head when he heard the old man say this.

"Well, old man, I've finished what I can tell you. If you don't give up, you can stay here." The old man seemed to be angry and turned around. His rickety figure walked away with a crutch.

"Damn, what a village. Ouch Li Fan angrily kicks the stone pillar, but when his foot is about to touch the stone pillar, he is bounced back by the light of the stone pillar again. Painful Li Fan quickly covered his feet and jumped up, hopping in place.

"Forget it, Li Fan. Let's go back to the old man's house and have a rest. " Chen Xi can't help laughing when she sees Li Fan.

"Go back, shall we just let it go?" Li Fan said, rubbing his feet.

"Go back first and try to find a way, if it's really the array that I told the old man. It's not something that we can destroy. " Chen Xi said and turned to the old man to leave the direction of the past. Li Fan looked at Chen Xi's back and then turned to look at the stone pillar. Finally, he limped to keep up with Chen Xi.

There was silence again around the pillar. The air around seemed a little fuzzy. A trace of smoke like things continue to gather in the air, and then have thrown into the stone column.

When they returned to the old man's room, they found that the old man was already sitting on the chair with his eyes closed. I heard two people coming in. I still don't open my eyes. The only sound in the room was the kettle on the stove. Two people looked at the old man one eye, similarly did not say anything then turned to walk into own room.

"Well, what shall we do? Do you really want to stay here for a lifetime? " Li Fan didn't sit down and said to Chen Xi“ I can't think of any way for the moment. I've only heard about the array in the legend before. But never. So I don't know how to crack it. " Chen Xi is also helpless looking at Li Fan said“ Well, I can't. I'll find some dynamite to blow up that broken stone pillar tomorrow. " Li Fan said hatefully“ ha-ha. If it had been that easy, it would not have been trapped here for hundreds of years. " Chen Xi said with a smile“ The power of nature may damage it, but I'm afraid it can't rely on the power of explosives. "“ Well Of course, Li Fan also knew that his method was not feasible, so he had to sigh deeply. Both men were silent. I don't know how long it took, Li Fan felt like he was about to fall asleep. But suddenly woke up. Open your eyes and find that Chen Xi is already lying on the table asleep. Li Fan reaches out his hand to wake Chen Xi. But the outstretched hand stopped beside Chen Xi. Turn around to take the quilt from the bed and cover Chen Xi's body gently. Look at Chen Xi sleeping. Li Fan smiles and shakes his head. Got up and walked out of the room gently. He walked towards the stone pillar in the middle of the village. Standing in front of the stone pillar again, Li Fan didn't have the last impulse. Instead, he looked at the stone pillar. Hazy as if to see the pillar in the absorption of the energy between heaven and earth. But I seem to be able to see the relationship between the stone pillar and the whole village“ Hehe, he is a natural God A clear laugh rang out in Li Fan's mind“ Master Li Fan, who was awakened by the sound, said with some surprise“ Ha ha, good boy In Li Fan's mind came the figure of Bai Qi. He nodded and looked at Li Fan with satisfaction. "I can find the secret of the array so quickly. I'm worthy of being my favorite disciple. "“ The secret of array Li Fan looked at Bai Qi doubtfully and said, "I didn't see anything?"
